CHICAGO. March 15.-This proved to
be another sensational day in wheat. As
the session advanced the suspicion grew
that the bull Clique" were selling out
their long wheat, and the great quanti-
ties dumped on the market appeared IL
confirm this view. The starting price for
May delivery was size, or &c lower than
the closing figures last night. The market
held steady for a short time and then be-
gan to recede slowly under large offerings.
The market was very stubborn at about
sole, but the quantities of wheat which
were pressed for sale finally became so
large that shortly before noon the price
dropped to 19.c. IL held there steadily
for "A short time, when another deluge OF
wheat came on the market and the pit be-
came the scene Of n half-panic. There
was a sudden plunge to 1880, the decline
bringing out tremendous quantities OF
Long wheat aud causing the
ment of the failure Of one firm. During
the decline commission houses were COM
PEELED to close out enormous trades for
customers whose margins had expired.
There was also Il free calling OF margins,
all of which were promptly responded TO.
The market rebOunded from the inside
figure even more rapidly than 1t had de-
clined. The Shorts who endeavored to
cover found little wheat III sale and the
clique bull houses We're open buyers for
large quantities. The market rallied to
SOsc and stopped there at l O'Clock. In
the afternoon the market opened at sega
size without stopping, finally closing at
